ID. of l.. Officers.


At a meeting of the Daughters of Liberty
No. Z last night in the COURIER building the
following officers were elected: c., William
Mrs. William Houston; R. S., L. c. Waters;
guide, Mrs. w. g. Town.
Correctfon-0ne of Our Fallen Heroes.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The dedication pamphlet for Monument
day, edited by Captain F. NJ. Loveioy for a
Providence business firm, is fitting memo
rial worthy of preservation. The only re-
GREETED omission is photo-likeness of Ma
jor general Alfred H. Terry, worthy son of
New Haven, justly accorded and holding the
first place in our nations army.
One name of the list of New Ravens fallen
heroes of the war needs to be corrected. It
is printed civilian G. Brown, killed at the
battle of Cold Harbor, Va" It should be
James Madison Browne. His sister living in
the city very naturally and properly de-
sires the correction made James Madison, in
stead of William c., and Browne, instead of
Brown. The Browne family is one of the
best revolutionary stock and has a distin-
guished record in the war for the Union.
The brother of James M. enlisted in the ma
Wy. Both were always found at their posts
of duty and have honorable records. James
NJ. volunteered for the cavalry service here.
By an unworthy recruiting agent he was sold
for substitute into Stonington regiment.
The agent gave the brave young volunteer
none of the bounty money, none to his fam
lily. Liberty Browne, his uncle, in Phila-
delphia, enlisted with his six sons and serv-
ed all through the war. Two were killed.
The grandfather, Liberty Browne, was born
on July 4, 1776. Hence his name. A man
of sterling worth.

The yachts crossed the line hauled on the
port tack, and stood far enough to the east.
ward to clear the jetty and West Ha-
ven's sand bars and lay the course for
Charles Island. The Thistle, the best yacht
in the fleet, after getting the signal gun, got
away in fine shape and gave promise of out
doing everything else, as it did. The judges
were on board the big tug Ives. The
judges were: Charles H. Farnham, Eli
Whitney, jr., and George B. Martin. The
regatta committee, which gave most excel
lent satisfaction, was composed of these
well known gentlemen: Joseph T. Whitte6
sey, L. A. Elliott, E. J. Osborn, w. A.
Foskett, jr., and R: R: Hopkins.
Between two and three hundred people
were aboard the Corning. They were the
friends and relatives of the yachtsmen. On
board the steamer also were the morning
newspaper reporters. The sail down the
harbor was an exceedingly invigorating one
and all that could be desired.
The Second regiment band of twenty-five
pieces, George STREET. leader, had a position
on the forward deck, where at short intervals
throughout the sail they discoursed the finest
band music imaginable. Everyone aboard
the Corning had word of praise for the
band and its leader. The soul-stirIing
strains of the band, the soft splashing of the
foam-crested waves and the clear blue sky
above soon had everyone aboard the steamer
in sort Of No. enjoyment: Caterer
Deibel with an excellent corps of walters had
tables below where the inner man was re-
freshed. Music will not appease an appetite
brought on by salt water air.
The Corning went over the entire course,
and those aboard had an excellent opportu-
nifty to witness the boats as they passed the
eight mile point. The steamer returned at
6 p. m.

Regatta of the New Haven Yacht
Cuban Exciting Race For HOnors
and Prfxes-A Good start Made by
the Twenty.One Yachts and Good
Time Made-The List of winners
and the Prizes and she Time.
Bright and early yesterday morning rose
the shippers of the New Haven Yacht club
and critically surveyed the weather reports.
The heavy rain storm of the day before had
acted as sort of a damper on those Interests
ed in the successful termination of the Cube
sixth annual regatta. A success it was IN
every sense Of the word. In past years the
club has given some very enjoyable regattas,
but the one of yesterday eclipsed them ALL
That most necessary of all adjuncts to yacht
Face, fresh breeze, was on hand in prime
condition. Old Sol came out triumphantly
and dried the storm-wet canvas and rigging
of the pretty craft which were to participate.
A spanking sou'west breeze set in about ten
O'Clock and made the yachtsmen's hearts
happy. The pretty fleet lay at an Choir off the
club house and consisted of twenty-one craft,
as could be found in New England. 1t was
shortly after ten o'clock that the first gun of
the day pea1ed out as salute to Commodore
Frank Wheeler, of the Wild Pigeon,
who had just arrived. The yachts
were soon in readiness for the contest. One
by one they dropped down the harbor and
prepared for the start. The steamer Erastus
Corning, which lay at Starin's dock during
the morning, was fast filling with people who
were destined to witness as pretty yacht
race they could wish FOR. The Corning
was in excellent hands, and when the word
was given the steamer was promptly got I'M
der way and with her hurricane deck black
with people was soon in the near vicinity of
the starting point. The intentions of the
management were that the start should be
made at 1870, but owing to unavoidable de-
lay the preparatory signal was not given
until 11:30. 1t was 1882, however, before
R. R. Hopkins, jr., fred the gun that start
ed the boats in class D, third and fourth
divisions, and class E, comprising yachts
from fifteen to thirty-fve feet long. In
quick succession and in perfect order the
other classes were got under way. The
boats started in the following order: Endea-
vor, Anita, Vixen, Venus, Dare Devil
Zephyr, Acme, Ceres, Stranger, vidette
Mascotte, Marguerite, Ruby, Thalia, Genevieve,
Flora, Sea Belle, Thistle, Defiance, Wild
Pigeon, Concord. The contests to get the
advantage on the start were very sharp.
The Venus, Vixen and the Dare Devil, all
punched, made a pretty spectacle as they
made for the line. A fog crept down over
the Sound just before the start, but happily
was of short duration.
The starting time of the entire fleet was:

In class the Thistle won the first prize,
which was mariners glass. The Rover
was entered in this class, but did not start.
The Marguerite won first prize in class G.
She won mariners glass and also the Derby
challenge cup, which now becomes her ex-
elusive property. The Flora came in second
and took for the prize clock and barometer.
For the third prize the Genevieve took set
of yacht colora. The Mascotte took the spe-
cial prize of barometer.
In class D the Vixen took the first prize of
a fitting ice pitcher. AS this is the third
successive time the Vixen has won in this
class the Register challenge cup now becomes
her exclusive property. The Stranger re-
ceived the second prize, wine set. The
third and fourth prizes have not yet been
awarded, as the corrected time has got to be
measured over again. They lie between the
Vidette and the Ceres. There was special
prize of a water set offered to the one of the
five yachts-Defance, Endeavor, Zephyr,
Ruby and Acme-which which should come
in ahead of the other four. It was won by
the Zephyr.
The Venus came in first in class D, taking
as the prize shaving set in plush case.
